CNN reported that in 2015, McCrary was arrested for failure to pay child support. In an interview with VladTV in 2020, he spoke about FathersCare, a non-profit organization he founded.
He shed light on the court system and alleged that it "pushes" dads out of their kids' lives.

Although he was arrested in 2015, as per CNN, he spent less than a day behind bars.
